Canada and Alberta Fast Track Immigration

The province of Alberta has instituted a stream for provincial nomination which is based on experience in the USA. Those with H1B, H1B1, H-1C, or E-3 visas and with at least one year of experience in the USA can become eligible for fast-tracked immigration to Canada through this Provincial Nominee Program (PNP). Those who are approved do not have to meet the skilled worker pass mark. An eligible candidate's occupation must be designated by the province.

Those with experience in the USA and who wish to receive a no-charge assessment of eligibility for nomination and fast-track immigration to Canada may complete the following form:

Nova Scotia pursues Canadian immigration candidates

Following in the footsteps of numerous other Canadian provinces, Nova Scotia has a signed an agreement with Canada's Immigration Minister to allow the nomination of candidates for approval. This will allow Nova Scotia to pursue more skilled worker immigrants, foreign workers, and foreign students.

Nova Scotia presently joins a number of other provinces which have signed similar agreements in order to be able to select or nominate its own candidates for immigration. This approach is commonly used to supplement the influx of immigrants for provinces which do not receive a proportionate number from immigration to Canada overall.
